élan

also known as Aelahn of Osgiliath

élan was bought as a pet, but we also did show him for a few years, but it became clear that he never really enjoyed it, preferring his food and walks. He obviously liked the quiet life. He was a calm and gentle dog, who was the height in the standard, 23 inches. (Today he would look very small in one of our 21st century classes.)

His pedigree was quite a mix, containing Duxfordham, Ascotheath, Pinto and Greenmount dogs, kennels which all disappeared with the millenium, but remembered by some and enshrined in the breed handbooks of the time.

As a pet, he was never bred. He lived for over 10 years and was greatly missed when he died in 1991
